What
When Claude Code decides whether two bash commands should be treated as the same for permission or approval purposes, it previously did this by stripping a literal cd <directory> && prefix. That logic has been replaced with a more general comparison that also correctly handles the way Windows quotes a cd prefix.
Why
This makes permission matching for bash commands more reliable on Windows, reducing cases where a command that should be recognized as already-approved is instead treated as new and prompts for approval again.
